Chesmar Culture

Chesmar’s strength comes from its Chesmarians (Chesmar associates). Chesmarians are a group of phenomenally talented, energized adults fully engaged in making a difference daily. Everyone at Chesmar Homes is dedicated to providing and sustaining the culture, creating an atmosphere that is both stimulating and nurturing. We call this Chesmar Spirit.

Chesmar places a strong emphasis on “family”, with bonds that extend to include Chesmar associates, business partners, homeowners and Realtors. And those family ties are a pretty big deal to Chesmarians!

Associates at Chesmar Homes take the company’s motto “Setting a Higher Standard” to heart. Each individual agreeing to work at Chesmar Homes, commits to an oath to help Chesmar Homes and everyone associated with the organization, including themselves, to “Set a Higher Standard in Everything They Do.” This pledge is echoed in the company’s mission and core values.
